"Thanks to this wonderful volume, expertly translated by Helen Mintz, Abraham Karpinowitz will finally get the attention he deserves. His stories are funny, well-crafted and suffused with the special atmosphere of Jewish Vilna." – Samuel D. Kassow, Northam Professor of History, Trinity College.

“Karpinowitz is a master storyteller with a talent for blending fact and fiction, an eye for detail, a finely attuned ear for slang – and an abiding affection for the colorful characters who inhabit the lost world of prewar Vilna... It’s all brilliantly rendered in this first-ever translation.” – Ellen Cassedy, author of We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust.
